Ok, I have gone a few pages back on forums and not found the answer. In short, if I buy the Mercenaries pack and equip the items to my main, and then there's a wipe/a wipe occurs at commercial release, do I still get those items in the commercial release? I've found statements about Aurum and currency, but I want to know specifically about gear and other things before I invest. |

On a wipe you will lose anything you bought with aurum and all other assests but all aurum and merc pack items will be reimbursed as well as any reward suits such as the the skinweaver suits awarded during ealier beta events |

Any AUR Spent (AUR not AUR Items) / Merc Packs Items will always be reimbursed on a WIPE.
Also, any items that are given to us in-game are given back to us on a wipe. The only thing that is typically not given back are ISK rewards. Any in-game items are re-gifted back to you. So, for instance, if you have a / multiple SkinWeave fits from the weekend testing, on a wipe, you are re-gifted the item(s) from CCP. |

Thanks guys. Thats all I needed to know. Will probably be buying it today or tomorrow.
I've been playing this games big, older brother, EVE Online for about 3 years straight. Love it. Was skeptical of Dust514, but it turns out I love it too (loved Halo, so, figured I should definitely give this a shot). I even bought a PS3 over this after I made my decision....

The items get refunded back on an account level too, so you can delete characters and it will be reissued back when you start again. |

Now this I like. What about after the game starts for real, if I delete a character then, do the items come back/ |

Right now? yes they get reissued to the account ON reset to the account. Just remember once we go live for good you shouldn't delete that next guy you give items to.
Thankfully Aurum is account wide. |

Very cool. Love this game already as much as I love EVE Online. This is going to officially take my multi-boxing to a WHOLE new and probably dangerous level. Of course, it will be cool to have my soldier on ground, my battleship/deadnaught/whatever in orbit, giving assistance to the other.
Also, if this gets to null... who thinks we are going to see some very, very epic battle rages in space and ground at the same time? I, for one, hope we do.
Finally, I really hope they find a few more creative things for Mercs to do besides planets... I think the ability to truly "pirate" with a Dust corp working with an EVE Online corp would be amazing. EVE scrambles and pins down a shiny ship in space--tech III cruiser, battleship, even super capital... Dust Mercs are brought in via some drop ship and proceedig to invade the tackled ship. This is just an idea I'd love to see eventually (probably another 5 years if CCP went this route), but it'd be awesome to be able and would make DUST players an even more valuable resource--plus, stealing titans would be ultimate epeen. |

Shipboarding is unlikely the time for a match to start up is much longer than most people's self destruct. Also it will be an ultimate form of trolling.
Request boarding action on shuttle, blow shuttle into peices.
Now station/outpost take overs is more likely. |

Well, they'd have to make special rules for boarding parties based on the type of ship. I didn't say the coding/implementation would be easy (hence, why I said it'd probably be 5 years in CCP's timeline).
Assaulting/hacking POS'es/stealing ships with Dust soldiers would also be cool. |
